I use 1.5 wand and about 5' of 1.5 hose on end of 2". It makes maneuvering around a little easier. And flash cuffs. They allow hose to spin so I dont have coils fighting me.

Power companies actually are really pushing for more private solar all over the country. They are starting to have trouble meeting the power demands of their customers while keeping prices reasonable.

Hi guys,
Thank you to everyone for the help. And happy Saturday morning to you! Ok so heres my list to convert to 2" hose on my EDIC porty.
1. 50 ft. 2" hose with cuffs
2. 50 ft. 1/4" solution hose with ends
3. Male and female quick releases for solution line
4. New EDIC top for machine. I will drill through center and install 2" bulkhead.
5. What type of connector? A 90 2" barbed? Where can I get these from? Will a 90 cut down on my suction? Or slow it down? I know the 1.5" has a 90 on the inside from the factory.
5. 5 ft. of 1.5 inch hose for the end and my wand.
6. What type of reducer?? Is there a 1.5 to 2" swivel reducer for when I drop down from 2" to 1.5" for the last 5 feet?
I could not find hose here or parts I need on robs sight here. Guess he does not want to bother with it...
Thank you PS Will drill right through this lid to install 2" bulkhead and barbed fitting.

Pic of under lid and inside of tank. Like where your stack is. You want to make sure it is directed away. May even find that with added cfm speed coming in. It may create turbulence sloshing water up onto cage.

Careful choosing your hole saw size. They tend to cut a lil bigger. Especially the ones depot carries. They're wood/steel. Ideally a steel only would cut nice clean hole. Once pilot drops through. Turn screwgun in reverse to cut a groove. Then forward to cut through. A whirly bird is great for de burring. But a piece of sand paper will do.

Thank you Sir! I have quite a few holesaws in the garage. Will compare with bulkhead when I get it to make sure I get as little gap as possible. Where do I get this bulkhead? Its just a standard bulkhead correct?

Bulk heads are sized to the fitting. So you're using 2" barb with male pipe thread. So bulk head will be 2" female pipe thread. I get them from tractorsupplycompany.com or maybe even a powerwasher store or pond/pool supply.

Thanks! I'm on it like white on rice! Cannot wait to see the even drier carpets! I really hope I'm happy with the difference. Drier carpets are cleaner carpets.
Just having that extra 25 feet will be as great as president Trump winning again in 2020!!
Judge Jeanine will be hosting the US embassy moving to Jerusalem on Monday. That's going to be great.

Here's a couple links to quality hose at almost bulk hose prices (it is Continental, I use the same hose in 3/8") and ultra lightweight 2" carwash vac hose that is super flexible and easily maneuverable. Regular hose cuffs work perfectly on it too, although I abhor cuffs of any kind and just use 2" aluminum tube to connect sections for zero leaks.
